1082.0. "DOS-AT at ATariST!" by JGODCL::HEIJSEN (Wil Heijsen) Mon Mar 04 1991 08:07

    Hi all,
    
    Just finished adding AT-SPEED to my 1040ST.
    It boots MSDOS ok and I've run a small application successful.
    
    Some raw details.
    
    -cost; about $239 (HFL 395,- $1 eq. HFL 1,67)
    -size; 1 PCB containing 80286, 3 SMD PALs, 4 SMD buffers/transcievers
           about 120-150 mm x 80 mm
    -software: 1 floppy containing ATSPEED.PRG and .INST and some misc doc
    files (V2.24)
    - nice installation guide in German with photo's from 260- MEGA PCB's
      and separate instructions how to install on each type motherboard.
    -to do: 
    Depending on the board revision; this is for the oldest style where the
    68000 is at the left of the floppydrive from the front of the drive
    seen.
    
    a)dissassemble Atari and place 64 pins socket on top 68000.
    b)break off 2 studs supporting the drive at the front-left, seen from
    the drive
    c)solder socket slightly tilted aligned to floppy drive so the board
    goes just below the drive.
    d) remove some material from both the bottom plate of the drive as wel
    as the top shield of the Atari to avoid pressure on the AT-pcb.
    e)press the AT-pcb onto the 64 pin socket with it's 64 pins - that's it!
    
    I had to support the floppy drive by using one of the removed studs
    glueing it to another free part of the bottom plate. Also the plastic case
    where the floppy is mounted in gives good support at that end.
    
    'All current' software seems to be support as well as CGA/EGA/VGA both
    mono  and color. Windows 3.0 seems to run if >1mb is installed.
    It takes .5 Amp on +5V it says. Extended memory up to 3.9 Mb possible.
    
    Just for those who like a cheap and reasonable fast (8mhz system clock)
    DOS-AT-capability. BTW a 16mhz version seams to be ready too!

 I've recently bought AT-SPEED C16 with DR DOS V5.0 with it, but have some
 problems getting anything running. It does not seem to recognize the A: drive
 as floppy (only if I FORMAT a floppy, it will see it once and regardless
 what floppy I insert a DIR A: will provide the same (memory-kept?)
 directory information.

 Also I have problems in getting my Atari mouse working properly. The best
 sofar is a EGA emulation using Microsoft mouse without driver, but using
 VIEWMAX allows to move the move, but after the first click it remains frozen.
 Not much luck in getting anything running sofar.

1082.2works nowIJSAPL::KLERKWhere is my Time-to-Profit?Fri Oct 25 1991 22:1716
  Some further investigations showed one needed a mouse driver (I expect
  those things to be part of the O/S: it is in VMS, it is in TOS, but
  obviously it was too much to expect from Stone Age MS-DOS...).
  A copy of the GMOUSE.SYS genius mouse and specifying in AT_INST.PRG
  that my mouse was attached to COM1 solved all problems.

  All works fine. Graphics (like e.g. from the SDW Software Development
  Workbench, a dutch analysis product with lots more functionality than
  DECdesign can currently offer) looks best on Hercules graphics.

  If the installation guide (german) would be as revealing and instructive
  as I usually expect Digital manuals to be, I'd give the AT-SPEED C16
  full marks. Once you got it up and running by trial and error (probably
  the MS-DOS tradition) it's great. An AT on your Atari for about $ 200

1082.3SEDT under ATSPEED. Anyone any lcuIJSAPL::KLERKJohn Major - a very minor EuropeanMon Dec 30 1991 04:2113
   Are there other AT-SPEED users? I've tried unsuccessfully to use SEDT
   (the EDT emulator editor from Anke Somner Berger) under MS-DOS as I refuse
   to learn yet another editor. However, due to the ST keyboard limitation
   and the mapping of some IBM keys onto the keypad (such as SYS REQ, HOME
   etc) I seem to be unable to get it to work properly with the usual
   keypad functions. The MAPKEY SCAN program also suggests that the PF1
   key does not transmit any code to the firmware under ATSPEED, which makes
   it a difficult key to map for all the GOLD-.. operations.

   Anyone more successful?

1082.4Keymap for SEDT on ST keyboardIJSAPL::KLERKJohn Major - a very minor EuropeanMon Jan 13 1992 09:30128
  With some effort, we've been able to produce a keymap file to use the
  Atari ST keyboard with the AT-SPEED C16  60286 processor that emulates
  MS and DR DOS environments.

  Because PF1 is not returning any key scancode, unfortunately all GOLD
  sequences have become PF2 sequences. The HELP is put under the ST
  HELP key. By defining the keyboard as type "ST" SEDT will look for
  STDOS*.EDT files for use. The  STDOSM.EDT file is produced from compiling
  the keys from STDOSM.INP which is enclosed below.
